After trying various Bluetooth software with my USB adapter Bluenext BN-01) this was the software that enabled me to run Papywizard with a Bluetooth link on my old IBM T23 laptop running Windows 2000 SP4. Unlike Windows XP, Windows 2000 never had standard default Bluetooth drivers.

Using the Widcomm software you need to create a virtual serial port and use a serial connection setting in Papywizard.

It is a bit of a fiddle to set up the virtual serial port (mine is on COM11) but via a sort of trial and error process I got it working.

Using the same USB BT adapter was much easier on my XP system - I just plugged it in and allowed XP to use its standard BT driver and then used a Bluetooth connection setting in Papywizard.

Incidentally the Blue Soleil BT manager software supplied with the USB BT adapter would not work with Papywizard either on the Windows 2000 laptop or my Windows XP desktop system.

Keep going - I think that together we will get this to work on your system!

J'avais bien changé le baudrate à 9600, et changer le nom du periph en Merlin, et c'est tout (le manuel dit : Normaly only the Baud Rate should be changed from 19200 who is the factory setting to 9600 for the PAPYWIZARD/MERLIN utilisation! But you can also provide another name to the adaptor if you wish - I named mine Â« MERLIN Â»!)

Just checking - you did remember to change the setting of the slide switch on the top of the BTLink after programming and before connecting it to the Tronisoft module and connecting the interface assembly to the Merlin head?

The slide switch needs to be set towards the D-sub connector (marked DCE) when attached to a PC for programming and it needs to be set at the other end towards the antenna when connected to the interface assembly on the Merlin head.

The screen shot shows the error message I get if the slide switch is set incorrectly, but everything else is set up correctly.
